This question already has an answer here:
The firefox not closing problem should be already fixed both in avast (via virus DB update) and firefox (33.1). So it should not be reproducible today on any avast installation, provided either avast or firefox is at its latest versions.
- Avast Passwords is currently available for Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox, and is included in Avast Secure Browser by default. Extensions are currently not supported in the Microsoft Edge browser.
- Update: I deleted Firefox, downloaded the most recent, and installed it. Interestingly, it would not allow me to connect to the Internet. There was one.plist that would not empty from the trash. In the past, other programs have exhibited problems with.plists that were not functioning properly.
- And while Avast earned great stores in my hands-on antiphishing test, that function currently works well in Chrome and Firefox, but not Safari. But the pros outweigh the cons.
- Avast, a security solution designed to protect your business data and computers from most types of cyberattacks, uses a set of modules to scan various parts of your system. One module, Web Shield.
- Why can't I browse the internet with Safari, but Chrome is working? 1 answer
A friend of mine asked me to help with his MacBook as Safari didn't load any site.
I connected to his computer using TeamViewer (so internet is basically working), and then did a ping on
Google.com
, which worked. His Mac runs on OSX 10.6.x (Snow Leopard) with Safari 5.x.I've tried a few things including:
- PRAM reset
- Delete cookies and browser cache
- DNS flush
- Delete
cookies/cache/plist
in Library - Delete and reinstall Safari.app
Non working. I tried downloading Firefox using
curl
but that seems also not to work.Any idea what could be wrong?

- Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
- Type or copy paste the following:
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
. - Click Go then move the
Cache.db
file to the Trash. - Quit and relaunch Safari to test.

Is there any app such as Little Snitch that is installed? If so, it could be blocking browsers but not Team Viewer and not Mail.

What about putting Firefox or Chrome on a USB stick and just copying it via Finder? If they also do not work, I would suspect something more generally wrong, not Safari itself. Might have to use portable version of those apps.
UPDATE: What about any recently installed firewall software? Anything that might have installed a webfilter or a webfilter appliance that might sit between your Mac and the gateway? Is NAC enabled on the network, preventing you from getting out until you hit a specific site for authorization?

Check the DNS server in network preferences for the network adapter you are trying to connect. Usually DNS server ip should be the same as the router ip address.

I encountered this issue (internet on Safari and App Store app not working), and rebooting my computer ended up resolving the problem for me.
